World Trade Centre
The trailer for Oliver Stone's World Trade Centre is online here. Could this possibly feel any less like an Oliver Stone movie? In order to go near this subject matter - which I don't think they should at this point - Paramount must have felt they needed a respectable director with some kudos behind him. Even with all the left-wing / paranoia baggage he brings, Stone was the right sort of choice. But to judge by this trailer he's produced a movie-of-the-week version of the remarkable documentary 9/11. Stone was probably afraid of doing anything offensive, but if he's got nothing important to say, then he shouldn't have made a film at all, and focussed on a life-affirming drama that didn't raise so many other issues. It looks sappy, and it looks distasteful. Labels: rumours Posted by Stephen Rowley @ 22.5.06
